Upgrade from Laravel 5.2 to Laravel 5.3

Question

I want to update Laravel to the latest version 5.3.

I'm checking the official guide, but I don't see how to actually upgrade the code through composer.

When I try to update composer.json file to point to laravel/framework 5.3.*.

I get:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

How should I update?

Answer 1

You have to update the LaravelCollective html package as well.

In your composer.json, replace:

"laravelcollective/html": "5.2.*"

with:

"laravelcollective/html": "5.3.*"

(don't forget the trailing comma if there is one)
